What I donít remember is what the hell happened to my index and middle toes on my left foot. They hurt like hell, are a little swollen, and it hurts to move them. Freakiní ouch. I would go to a doctor, but I think it would go like this: might be broken; x-rays; not much we can do; hereís a bill for $1000. So, Iím going to do the RICE thing (how do I compress a toe?), and keep an eye on them. I will particularly enjoy the R(est) portion.

Earlier this month, I posted that I hadnít been to Walmart in approximately a year. And that probably one of my cheap small appliances would give out, forcing my hand to do so. Damn, but that was prophetic. As I poured hot coffee into my (very cheap) blender yesterday, I heard a cracking sound. Itís so not worth it to replace anything on a $15 blender.

How are the tootsies, hope there better?

As you can now see into the future having foreseen the appliance failure, any chance you can predict my lotto numbers?!

Sad seeing dolphins and whales and the like swim to there deaths, they seem to have a death wish sometimes.

Yes, thank you. They don't seem to be swelling too badly, circulation is good, and today I got a bunch of dishes done while putting most of my weight on the good foot.

If I could foresee the lottery (especially different ones around the world), there would be a bunch of really cool rich people in a few years.

Smart woman you are. I finally thought to look online and I think they call it "buddy splinting" or something like that. I did tape them at their worst, but I just used an ace bandage and taped them all together. Woke up in the middle of the night wondering who was pulling on my foot.
